«Melody» is the young adult novel by Sharon M. Draper, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (256 pages, in Italian).
Melody has a prodigious memory and her mind records every moment, but cerebral palsy prevents her from speaking, walking, and writing; doctors and teachers believe she cannot learn. She repeats the alphabet until a technology finally gives her a voice, and she discovers that not everyone around her is ready to listen.
Translation by Alessandro Peroni for the Up Feltrinelli collection. Recommended reading from age 12.
For young readers from 12 years old and for those seeking stories about disability, empathy, and the right to be heard.
